The knight fell to his knees on one knee in front of the Grand Lord. "My lord, did you call me?"

"Yes. Sigmund motioned for the knight to stand up. "These are distinguished guests from Durham, one of their companions was captured by a group of mages, and now they are in the slums, and you take some people to protect them and go to the slums to get that companion back. ”

The knight stood up and nodded solemnly at the Grand Lord. "We must live up to our mission. ”

Only then did everyone discover that the knight named Magir had a terrible scar on his face, which started from the left forehead and went down to the brow bone of the left eye, and crossed the cheek, making the knight's face look even more hateful. Nerfi even hides behind Stan in fear.

"Go ahead and prepare, meet outside the castle gates, and if necessary, use contingencies. Sigmund waved his hand, and the knight immediately retreated, trotting out of the hall.

"Without further ado, let's go get ready. Fern looked at Stan with a complicated look in his eyes. "Come along, Stan, I'll need you. ”

Stan's face, which had been gloomy from the beginning, suddenly glows again. "Leave it to me, Ferne, and I'll do my best. ”

Fern nodded, turning his head to look at the archmage who was still resting in his chair. "Morena, thank you for your help, you have a good rest. The mercenary looked up slightly. "Rui, you come with me. With that, he took a step and ran to the door.

Rui responds and follows Fern, and Stan quickly follows, and Nerfi looks left and right at a loss, and finally chases after Stan.

Morena stood up with her hands on her back. "This idiot, in such a hurry, I don't go to them to find those mages, and the area of the slum is not just a few rooms. ”

Manfred put his hands on the apprentice's head again, and only lowered it after a few seconds. "Go, Jarena, and chase your own happiness. ”

Jasmina suddenly found that her mental power had not only recovered, but was even stronger than before, she glanced at her mentor strangely, and before she had time to ask anything, she immediately used her flying technique and flew towards the gate.

Outside the gate, Magill was ready, along with ten equally well-dressed knights, and Fern was amazed that they could put on all the heavy armor in such a short period of time, unless they had been wearing it all the time. Soon, Fern's horses were brought in, and the crowd jumped on their horses. "Lead the way, Magill. ”

Magill glanced at Fern and did not answer him, but gave an order to the two knights beside him, and then the two knights rode out at once, still blowing a sharp whistle in their mouths, and the pedestrians along the road immediately gave way. "Keep up, don't be left behind!" Magir said coldly, and with a clamp between his legs, the mount immediately ran out.

Fern and the others followed, and thanks to the two knights who opened the way ahead, the group rode unhindered through the streets. Only then did they realize that in addition to Magir in front, three knights on each side of them rode around them to protect them, and the remaining two knights followed closely behind, surrounding them in the middle.

The knights were very familiar with the roads in the city, and they tried to choose the streets with the least number of pedestrians, but they did not go far away, but even so, Fern still felt that he was not fast enough, and he was anxious to fly over at once.

Finally, after several turns, the two knights at the front stopped at an intersection, and the crowd immediately reined in their horses. "Is this the slum?" Fern looked ahead curiously, only to see that the houses in front of him were obviously more dilapidated than the rest of the area, and there was a lot of garbage scattered on the streets, and there were many idle people sitting on both sides of the street with malicious eyes.

"Just cross this intersection. Magill turned to look at Fern. "What are the characteristics of the room where those mages are?"

"Features?" Fern froze in place, his mind blank.

"Don't you know, there are hundreds of houses in the slums, how can we find them?" said Magir, roaring sternly, scaring Nerfi from his horse.

"I know the characteristics of that room. A female voice came from behind.

Fern turned his head, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior. "Why, why are you here?"

"What are you going to do now if I don't come?" said Jasmine, then looked at Magill. "The house had a red roof with two skylights on the roof, and the most obvious difference from other slum houses was that it had two floors. ”

"Understood. Magir shouted an order to his men, "Two floors, red roof, two skylights, quick, find it now!"

With the neighing of the horses, the knights divided into several teams and disappeared into the paths of the ghetto. Fern waited where he was, thinking that Magill had other arrangements, but the knight seemed to have finished his order and just waited where he was. Fern couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What about us, why don't we go in and look for it together?"

"The roads in the slums are complicated, and you will definitely get lost if you go in, so it is better to wait here for their signal, and then I will take you in. Magir didn't even look back, but said to himself.

Fern had to settle down, thinking of the archmage beside him. "Thanks, Morena, it's good that you made it. ”

Jarena glanced at the mercenary faintly. "Luckily, you haven't run far, and I'll be able to follow the dust to find you. ”

"I'm sorry, I just ...... It's too urgent. Fern bowed his head to the archmage and apologized.

As soon as Jaminena's mouth opened, a long whistle came from the front of the group on the left, and Magill immediately rode out like a hungry wolf. "Keep up!"

Fern didn't dare to slack off, and immediately pulled the reins and chased after him. The roads in the slums were narrow and winding, and the stench of rotting garbage came from time to time, and both Nelfi and Morena wrinkled their noses.

The four knights in front were waiting in front of a room, and Magir rushed to them. "What's the matter?"

One of the knights had his right hand on the hilt of his sword. "This is it, you can't go wrong, just now there was a mage-like person sneakily looking out of the window on the second floor. ”

Everyone looked upstairs to the window, and saw that the white curtains had covered the window tightly. "Surround it first, and then move when the others arrive. ”

The four knights led their horses to the sides of the house, drawing their swords at the same time. It was not long before six other knights arrived, and they rode to the back of the house, which was already surrounded by them.

"You wait here, I'll knock on the door, and I'll do what happens. Magill jumped off his horse, grasped the hilt of his sword tightly in his left hand, and walked slowly towards the door.

Rui stared at the door, her brow furrowed, and she sensed that there seemed to be an unusual danger behind the door. Stan also remembered the tragic situation of Garin's death in the Twilight Forest, and quickly jumped off his mount, caught up with Magill, and grabbed him. "Wait, Magill, you can't knock on the door. ”

Magir jerked his head back, about to have a seizure, but his face softened when he saw that it was also a knight who had captured him. "Why? There is no other way, we can't break in until we have solid evidence that they have broken the law. ”

"Let me think about it......" Stan looks at Nerfi. "Can you cast a shield to protect Magir, I'm afraid those mages are ready to attack us behind the door. ”

Nerfi nodded. "Yes, but we don't know their strength yet, if their mana ......"

"Be careful!" Ray's shrill scream pierced the air, and Stan and Magill looked at Ray in confusion, followed by a crackling sound and a strong burning sensation coming from the direction of the room, Stan turned his head to see a fireball larger than the others flying towards him and Magill.

It was over, this was the last consciousness that appeared in Stan's brain, the fireball exploded violently only a few yards in front of him, blasting him and Magill out and hitting the wall of the opposite house, Stan immediately fainted, Magill managed to protect his head at the last moment, he was still conscious, he tried to get up, but his whole body seemed to fall apart, he couldn't move at all, he could only lie on the ground and roar loudly. "All attack, we are attacked, attack at will, don't let any of them go!" After the roar, all that was left was the strength to lie on the ground and moan.

The knights jumped off their horses and rushed towards the house with their swords raised.

"Stop, don't go over, go back!" shouted Morena as she waved her hands and cast a secondary shield spell on the knights at the front and side of the room.

At that moment, the whole room burst violently from the inside out, and a wave of heat spread in all directions, knocking the nearby knights to the ground, and the whole house was engulfed in flames. The magic of this heat wave was so extraordinary that even the knights who were shielded were lying on the ground, and the severe burns made them groan on the ground and could not get up again, and the knights behind the room without shields did not make a sound.

"Ness!" Fern shouted, rushing out like a flame.

"Stop him, this idiot, no matter what means. Jasmina instructed Rui to the side and flew to the back of the house.

Rui hesitated, but recited the incantation, and Fern immediately fell to his knees, clutching his head in pain, and making a creepy click in his throat.

Five shadows loomed from the flames, the burning flames spreading around them, their clothes intact, as if the flames would not burn them at all.
